Understand
Don't they understand how much it hurts
Their words, the way they scar, the way they burn
Like an acid eating through my skin, eating through my muscles
Weakening my strong bold stand
Don't they understand how hard it is to choose
Between two people whom you care about
Choosing who stays and who goes
Feeling the elephant weighing upon my fragile chest
Don't they understand how i try to fit in
Trying to molt myself, so they might
Give me a fighting chance
To fell how it is to fit in or even not be
Hated for being me
No, I guess they don't
For they still taunt and they still tease
They still battle vigourously not realizing the guilt
and pain they cause
They still reject my feeble attempts to be normal
And they still lack understanding
Me
I am not an actor or a singer
But a writer
I do not care what I look like
But everyone else does (or so it seems)
I do not care about what is "in" and what is "out"
But rather what I think is cool
I am proud of my work
But will not read it aloud
I wish I had green eyes, and black hair
But I have hazel eyes and brown hair
I am teased for stupid things
But still aid my foes
I wish I ws accepted for being me
But many won't
I wish I could be helpful is tricky situations
But I cannnot work under pressure
All these things I find are very true
But my wishes and dreams are far away
Sadly they are much too far away for me to reach right now
Maybe someday they won't be so far away
But for now they are better off the way they are...
I guess
